Straight up, 1 for 1, need for need. Pretty sure other Isles fans will hate it since Nelson is pretty well liked. I've always been high on Rundblad though and feel like he could potentially fill that offensive void left by Visnovsky(or at least some of it). I suppose the Isles could just dumpster dive the UFA market, but I figured this would be a little more interesting.

Don't see what the big deal is. I see both of these guys in that top-40/50 prospect range. Brock probably has a little higher value now but IMO the gap is smal enough that it could change pretty easily. I know Rundblad isn't the prototypical defensive d-man, but considering the Isles system at the moment I don't think that would be a bad thing. We are lacking PMD's, especially ones as talented as Rundblad. Even more so now with Lubo wanting out.

IMO it's a fair trade, and one the Isles can afford to make with a core of Tavares-Strome-Nielsen-Cizikas/Sundstrom up the middle.

Other than Tavares, you don't know if those other guys will pan out. The Isles have needs down the middle as bad as they do on D. If this is an emergency trade, it's not a very good one... it only plops another prospect into the pipeline. The Isles need a NHL proven player, not a 22 year old with 30 games NHL experience.

Is not like the proposal was a legit NHLer for a prospect, it's a prospect for a prospect(and one who is probably ready to step into the NHL in a position we need)
